And if someone, like Rial, had freaked out and ran off stage or refused to show up at a con, they'd be labeled difficult.

Hell, at a Wal-mart job I had, I reported a guy for stealing and slacking so hard at his job that it affected the customers, and I was the one who got fired, for rudeness, because on a particulaly bad day I came in asked what the gently caress was going on with them just letting him do that.

Somebody apparently SWATted the Alterna Comics guy.

I'm not sure who Peter Simeti is or what he did to get on some people's bad side but even if he's a poo poo head you don't SWAT someone. That kinda poo poo has gotten someone killed before. If he's a poo poo bag then call him out on this poo poo he does and make him suffer that way. Don't endanger his life like that.

Have they come out and proudly declared Cates a CG supporter for essentially not wanting somebody to die? It felt like it was trending that way when I stopped.

Simeti's Alterna Comics is a CG-adjacent indie publisher.

I don't even think Alterna Comics ever had a real alt-right comic in the hopper (Antarctic Press did, and all of the "Fly By Night Publishers That Name Themselves Something That Gets Them Close To the Front of Previews" blur together and no one seems to keep them straight.)

The CG-adjacent stuff at Alterna is their publisher (Peter Simeti) kept refusing to say anything unkind about Comicsgate because they're grateful for EVERY reader and some people are trying to SHAME him into not being grateful to each and every person who supports them but he will not be shamed and then he started blocking anyone who was vocally anti-CG. This was because he was retweeting literally any account mentioning/praising one of his comics, even if the rest of the message was about how they bought an Alterna book rather than some cucked SJW Marvel book edited by a feminazi or whatever bullshit CG was on that week. When the whole "you're signal boosting abuse" thing came up, he blocked the people who brought it up.

He then updated the Code of Conduct for employees/freelancers at Alterna to state that they could not insult fans or groups of fans and were not allowed to [s]block[s] blockchain on Twitter because think about it, every person you block could be a potential customer! See at Alterna, we value each and every fan as a potential customer and unlike at those other big companies we'd never condemn or belittle a potential customer just because they have abhorrent views, or harass people online, or harass our creators, we're a company that respects the fans! It is a complete coincidence that I, the publisher of Alterna Comics, appear on a ton of CG-affiliated streams and blogs, I have no idea whatever you are implying!

https://twitter.com/petersimeti/status/1094374776079032320

There's a lot of weird coincidences like that!

Anyway, SWATTing is terrible it should not have been done assuming it was actually done, I will be curious to see if there's any follow up on this.

Yeah he sounds like a douche alright, but whoever decided it would be a fun prank to SWAT him is an even bigger rear end in a top hat. That is of course if it even happened at all like you said.

Being skeptical of someone like that doesn't make you an rear end in a top hat. But it's also good for other people like Cates to put it out there that if something like that did happen it's not ok.

It could be something a chud did that they're going to blame on libs.

When Gunn was fired, libs and their callout culture were blamed for a while until Mike c started trying to cancel everyone else who said something bad about Trump. Chuds already have a beef with this guy for not serving their garbage to the public instead of just their own garbage

Cosplay culture is full of "Photographers" who are huge creeps trying to either sleep with their models or pull poo poo like this. I'm not saying every single one, obviously, but it's happened before, a lot. What sucks is that the public get 100 times angrier at a popular cosplayer who shows a lot of skin than they do at creepazoids like this.


Shoulda known when the coordinated takes started popping up 10 minutes after it 'happened'.

Incidentally, Bounding Into Comics guy is trying to jump onto the Mortal Kombat 11 ginned-up controversy train, because it features the return of two female characters who are now fully dressed, rather than fighting in string bikinis as they were in 2011's Mortal Kombat.

I am somewhat cheered by seeing that a lot of his feedback so far has been "Yeah, they started doing that four years ago, broseph, where you been?"
